Scrapbooking retreat

The companionship of friends and hours of scrapbooking - it was a great weekend at the Good Shepherd Retreat at Hartbeespoort Dam.  We all met for lunch at the Windmill at 12h00 on Friday, and after enjoying some delicious pancakes, we settled in to the convent at Good Shepherd; it's basic, it's clean and comfortable.  And someone else does the cooking and cleaning up.  All we have to do is show up and enjoy the meals, and then go back to scrapping.  Heavenly.

Total fabulosity - we are ladies who scrap and drink lotsa coffee

Scrap Queen Gifts.  Everyone contributes 2 items to each gift basket
We each end up with a lovely gift basket of goodies
Gifts included gloves, scrap supplies, books, a sweet jar and bracelets made by Tanya

Take a look at my friend Lynn's page here to read more about the weekend.  This weekend was pure delight.  I'm feeling so blessed to know this group of special ladies, and to be a scrapbooker.  I'm already planning the next retreat.
